Does that mean a nuclear powered cruise missile could stay airborne until mechanical failure? That would make future warfare... interesting.

- sandworm101 7y agoIt isn't all that much of a game changer. Mid-air refueling means that bombers can stay airborne a long time. Four or five bombers rotating back and forth can maintain one "on station" continuously. So the capability is already there. This tech would just make it more scifi.
